What a beautiful day in the neighborhood to go over to the LORD’S Cricket Grounds to shoot some arrows. Everyone was in high spirits today. They wanted to see the Lord’s to determine if anything changed from last year.

Jenny and Wukie (Jacob) were looking forward to seeing it for the first time. And how cool it is that we arrived on the Double Decker bus. We all sat up top and took in the sites. We pasted the Twin Towers, and other fun areas along the way. The trip took about an hour, that wasn’t fun.
All the archers are shooting well. We are able to store our equipment there and Miranda checked it out first hand. I guess that was her initiation for being the youngest on the team and first time Olympian. Check out the picture.
We finished practicing at 5:30 p.m. and were back on the bus by 5:40 p.m. to the OV (Olympic Village). Only had to go through one checkpoint tonight. Even the buses have to go thought screening when they arrive back, before they are allowing into the OV.
Hope you are all enjoying the updates.
See you tomorrow.
